Brake upgrade question
I need new pads so I figure I better upgrade while I'm at it.
I autocross 1-2 times a month but this is mostly a daily (low mileage) driver for me.
I need some assistance with making a decision on upgrade choice.
Option 1:
Z51 rotors, brakets, and pads from Fred Beans
Price: $700 Shipped
Option 2:
Corvette Garage Sport Rotor Package and Hawk Pads
Price: ~$640 Shipped
Option 3: Baer Rotor Package from Corvette Garage (1 PC f/r) and Hawk pads
Price: ~$800 Shipped
I'm trying to balance price/quality/peformance.
I'm leaning towards the Corvette Garage setup since it is the cheapest and uses brembo blanks....
Thoughts? Are their better alternatives?
2005 F55 C6
Installing Z06 quarter panels, wheels, and tires next...
Thanks in advance

At this point since you are planning other mods I would recommend just getting the standard OEM replacement pads. Maybe after getting the Z06 fenders you'll want to upgrade to the Z06 brake package and won't have money tied up in a stop gap fix. If you are looking at more stopping power, try calling Carbotech, their pads are easy on rotors and work well street and track!
That is unless your looking to improve the look of your rotors, then I'd say get option #2.
